Alot of the Hatton huggers are blaming Floyd Joy but after reading this, we all know who the real fool is to blame. “What I vaguely remember is that no sooner the bell rang and I went down, then again,” Hatton said. “I felt I was doing well in the second round and he nailed me again. “It is just embarrassing really. I know he is not that much better than me. I have felt worse after 12-round wars, as daft as it sounds. It didn’t take much out because it was over so quickly.” http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/more_sport/boxing/article6276553.ece This proves Hatton completely under-estimated his opponent.
Agreed, doesn't help when Golden Boy and possibly his father (he has a dodgy salesman vibe about him) are still keen to make as much money out of him as they can.
Ricky is right. Everyone knows it was a lucky punch for the first knockdown. And the second knockdown. And the KO. REMATCH!
What do you expect him to say. Usually pride dries out with age. He is too close to the loss right now to admit that Pacquiao was a much better fighter.
LOL!! He said he might try stand-up when he retires. Good on him for trying out his warm-up material. I have no problem seeing Rocky getting punched in the face again and again until he finally realises his deficiencies as a boxer. Thank **** he'll not keeping mentioning 'pound4pound' 'best fighter in the world' in every ****ing sentence now.
hes deluded cos he just got fully knocked the **** out. and has forgotten how he fights.and has seen a few training videos of him with floyd and is now thinkin...dammm im good...so slick so fast. how did i lose? ILL TELL YOU HOW HATTON. u go into the ring against the best P4P and dont block /jab /move head.
Hatton should wait for some small ****er like Donaire or Darchinyan to become p4p king and then fight him for the p4p title.
Sr. sucks, an to me he ruined DLH,,,an sure he helped with hatton down fall in this fight,,,saying this, it still is hatton fault, he lost, that is it, when he jabbed, he did Ok. when he swung for the fences, he got dropped,,,,he fought like **** that fight,,,,pacman deserves all the credit in the world for that victory,,,an that last punch of the fight will no question be KNOCK OUT of the year, can blame that on Sr.
Seriously man, I'm a huge Hatton fan...but fighters done get hit with three lucky knockdown punches in two rounds. Hatton was caught between boxing and brawling and he did neither. Pac was streaks better and Hatton was the worst I have seen him in years. His head was static, ridiciulous after Floyd's talk anout Manny not moving HIS head.
Actually, Hatton DID use some head movement. But whenever he tried to do so, Pac hit his head first so that his head movement was rendered useless and looked like it was just a reflex to getting hit. He doesn't have the reaction time to cope with the speed.
